Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baudelaire's work entered China in the twentieth century amidst political and social upheavals accompanied by a "literary revolution" that called for classical models and modes of expression to be replaced by vernacular language and contemporary content. Chinese writers welcomed their meeting with the West and openly embraced Western literature as providing models in developing their "new" literature. Baudelaire's reception in China provides a representative study of this "meeting of East and west." His work, which has been declared to stand between tradition and modernity, also lies at the intersection between classical and modern literature in China. Many of the best known and most highly regarded writers in twentieth-century China were drawn to Baudelaire's work, and some addressed it directly in their own writings. Bien draws upon H.R. Jauss's theory of the shifting and expanding horizons of expectation in the reading and interpretation of a literary work, and upon James J.Y. Lin's notion of "worlds" received and created by both author and reader, to show how poetic lines, images, and ideas, as well as Chinese critics' comments, eventually weave into a rich picture of Baudelaire's reception in China.

Book excerpt: The Flowers of Evil, which T. S. Eliot called the greatest example of modern poetry in any language, shocked the literary world of nineteenth century France with its outspoken portrayal of lesbian love, its linking sexuality and death, its unremitting irony, and its unflinching celebration of the seamy side of urban life. The volume was seized by the police, and Baudelaire and his published were put on trial for offence to public decency. Six offending poems were banned, in a conviction that was not overturned until 1949. This bold new translation, which restores the banned poems to their original places and reveals the full richness and variety of the collection, makes available to English speakers a powerful and original version of the world. Jonathan Culler's Introduction outlines this vision, stressing that Baudelaire is more than just the poet of the modern city. Originally to be called `The Lesbians', The Flowers of Evil contains the most extraordinary body of love poetry. The poems also pose the question of the role of evil in our lives, of whether there are not external forces working to frustrate human plans and to enlist men and women on appalling or stultifying scenarios not of their own making.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon its original publication in 1857 Charles Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal" or "The Flowers of Evil" was embroiled in controversy. Within a month of its publication the French authorities brought an action against the author and the book's publisher claiming that the work was an insult to public decency. Eventually the French courts would acknowledge the literary merit of Baudelaire's work but ordered that six poems in particular should be banned from subsequent publication. The notoriety caused by this scandal would ultimately work in the author's favor causing the initial publication to sell out, thus prompting the publication of another edition. The second edition was published in 1861, it included an additional thirty-five poems, with the exclusion of the six poems censored by the French government. In this volume we reproduce that 1861 edition along with the six censored poems in an English translation by William Aggeler. Rich with symbolism, "The Flowers of Evil" is rightly considered a classic of the modernist literary movement. Its themes of decadence and eroticism seek to exhibit Baudelaire's criticism of the Parisian society of his time. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Frank Pearce Sturm.

Book excerpt: 2022 Reprint of the 1954 edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition. Text in French and English on opposing pages. The Flowers of Evil, or Les Fleurs Du Mal in French, includes nearly all Baudelaire's poetry, written from 1840 until his death in August 1867. First published in 1857, it was important in the symbolist -including painting- and modernist movements. Though it was extremely controversial upon publication, with six of its poems censored due to their immorality, it is now considered a major work of French poetry. The poems in Les Fleurs Du Mal frequently break with tradition, using suggestive images and unusual forms. They deal with themes relating to decadence and eroticism, particularly focusing on suffering and its relationship to original sin, disgust toward evil and oneself, obsession with death, and aspiration toward an ideal world. The work had a powerful influence on several notable French poets, including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, and Stephane Mallarme. This translation represents a break with the tradition of rendering the Fleurs Du Mal into rhymed English verse. Its primary aim is accuracy. The original French verse is printed on the left hand page of the opened book, and the English translation on the right side, making a comparison of the texts quite simple. Unhampered by the necessity of rhyming, the translator was able to create an extremely faithful rendition of this masterpiece. Not only is the meaning rendered accurately but the characteristic Baudelairean imagery is reproduced in all its vividness and beauty. The translation is complete and contains all the one hundred and fifty-seven poems of the Fleurs du mal. The architecture of the work, to which Baudelaire attached so much importance and which is essential to a complete understanding of the poems, has been scrupulously respected. The commentaries were drawn up after a thorough study of all the critical works on the Fleurs Du Mal which have appeared since the poet's death in 1867.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That you come from heaven or from hell, who cares, O Beauty! enormous, frightening, ingenuous monster! If your eye, your smile, your foot, opens the door Of an Infinite that I love and have never known? Charles Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil reinvented beauty in the midst of modernity and has deeply influenced the course of world literature since its publication in mid-nineteenth century Paris. With profound irony, moral complexity, and formal virtuosity, Baudelaire's singular volume speaks in a voice at once caustic and vulnerable, melancholic and humorous, bringing to the surface new depths of psychological and social life through an astonishing variety of poetic forms and styles. This new translation by poetry scholar Nathan Brown presents precise English versions of Baudelaire's poems alongside the French text. Brown has carefully preserved the lineation, figurative language, punctuation, and grammatical structures of the original, finally giving us an edition suitable not only for the general reader but also for use by scholars and teachers working in English. Recognized as the most successful translation of The Flowers of Evil by eminent poetry critic Marjorie Perloff, this version of Baudelaire sets a new standard for fidelity to the original and sensitivity to the tone of this central work of modern literature.

The second edition was published in 1861, it included an additional thirty-five poems, with the exclusion of the six poems censored by the French government. Finally in 1868 a third edition was published posthumously. This collection added an additional fourteen poems selected by two of Baudelaire's friends yet again excluded the six censored poems. Literary scholars generally agree that, while well-meaning, the addition of these poems in the third edition disrupt the structure intended by Baudelaire and thus the 1861 edition should be considered as the definitive edition. In this volume we reproduce that 1861 edition along with the six censored poems in the original French and in an English translation by William Aggeler. Rich with symbolism, "The Flowers of Evil" is rightly considered a classic of the modernist literary movement.

Download or read book The Flowers of Evil written by Charles Baudelaire and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the original poems in this book were published by Baudelaire in 1857 and 1861 under the title 'Les Fleurs du Mal' (The Flowers of Evil). Baudelaire died in 1867, and in 1868 some of his friends published a posthumous edition of 'Les Fleurs du Mal', which contained many of Baudelaire's other poems. For the purposes of the present work I have included all of the posthumously published pieces, as well as the six poems that were banned by the court in 1857 for offending against public decency. Interestingly, it was not until 1949 that the judgment was overturned and their publication in France was authorised. The poems in question are 'Lesbos', 'To Her who is too Gay', 'The Lethe', 'The Jewels', 'Damned Women (Delphine and Hippolyta)' and 'The Metamorphoses of the Vampire'.

Download or read book Flowers of Evil written by Charles Baudelaire and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Baudelaire invented modern poetry, and Flowers of Evil has been a bible for poets from Arthur Rimbaud to T. S. Eliot to Edna St. Vincent Millay, who, with George Dillon, composed an inspired rhymed version of the book published in 1936 and reprinted here, with the French originals, for the first time in many years. Millay and Dillon, while respectful of the spirit of the originals, lay claim to them as to a rightful inheritance, setting Baudelaire’s flowing lines to the music of English. The result is one of the most persuasive renditions of the French poet’s opulence, his tortured consciousness, and his troubling sensuality, as well as an impressive reimagining of his rhymes and rhythms on a par with Marianne Moore’s La Fontaine or Richard Wilbur’s Molière.
